semi-entertaining source of bewilderment from the vfs developers any
time they have looked into the codebase to try to figure out how to port
their latest api changes to this filesystem, it has not really moved
forward into the "this is in shape to get out of staging" despite many
half-completed attempts.

And getting code out of staging is the main goal of that portion of the

changes are thrown over the wall at staging at some later point in time.
